Teenaged David is a bullied loser who
suddenly discovers he has the ability to teleport. He’s a jumper. He robs
banks, grows up and goes to find his teenage heart throb. Jumper killer Roland
(Jackson) is out to get him. Another jumper, Griffin (Bell) observes all this.
He’s out to get the jumper killers. He and David become reluctant partners.

There’s a lot of jumping round the world.
It’s all very macho with a weepy damsel. David to Griffin: ‘Save her, kill him
and we’re done!’

It’s a very thin story and the hero is
stupid but it’s exciting, sort of. And Jamie Bell is fun to see as a gritty
cynical tough guy. But both he and Jackson deserve a better film.
